I see that, I'm just confused by the fact that the IPC auth isn't enough, and that I will need to do both. (Yes - Both, since the first part of the process is to work by registry and file-property reads on systems without WMI... I'll only call WMIquery when I detect it is installed.)

I'll try adding the WMI Auth code and see where that goes.

Thanks
